We provide custom-tailored solutions to retain and develop employees through our management team audits, performance management systems and employee appraisals.

Management Team Audit/ Assessment

Majority of companies that introduce a new corporate strategy or change the existing one, in a merger or acquisition, do not have time to assess the existing talent pool.

We help clients to audit the talent, assess strong sides and development needs of managerial teams and individual managers that are crucial for a new business strategy. We conduct a structured in-depth interview with each manager, benchmark individual competency levels against desired ones, provide a rating of the best talent and development recommendations.

The assessment process is easily adapted to the client’s specific requirements and is conducted in a relatively short period of time, provided top manager and consultants work closely.

Typically we use 9 to 10 criteria to evaluate the talent (does the manager possess a specific skill or experience applicable in the work environment) and importance of competencies (is the competence critical for a given position). Each skill or competence is assessed on a five-point scale and benchmarked against strategic requirements identified by top manager of the company prior to the audit.

We audit the following key managerial competencies:

Strategic thinking

Knowledge of business

Decision making

Leadership

Team spirit

Energy and enthusiasm

Result orientation

Emotional intelligence

Entrepreneurship

High level of professionalism

The key managerial competencies are usually complemented by others, e.g., Client and result focus may be a key competence for a service company. Before the audit we discuss and approve additional competencies with top management.

We present the audit outcomes to the managerial team and discuss individual results with each participant to focus on strong sides and important areas where a specific group of managers may lack knowledge and skills.
